Configuring an SSL client policy
An SSL client policy is a set of SSL parameters for a client to use when connecting to the server. An SSL
client policy takes effect only after it is associated with an application layer protocol.
To configure an SSL client policy:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Create an SSL client policy
and enter its view.
ssl client-policy
policy-name
N/A
3.
Specify a PKI domain for the
SSL client policy.
pki-domain
domain-name
Optional.
No PKI domain is configured by
default.
After you specify a PKI domain, the
SSL client requests a certificate
through the PKI domain.
If the SSL server requires
certificate-based authentication for
SSL clients, you must use this
command to specify a PKI domain
for the client.
For more information about PKI
domain configuration, see

4.
Specify the preferred cipher
suite for the SSL client policy.
